Unilateral cervical lymphadenopathy.
What is the cause of hard sphere like nodes just beside (left) the top of SCM muscle? I do get frequent throat infections, have tinnitus since 2-3 years.
I have done a chest X-ray for TB due to immigration procedures, it was negative.
I am scared of thinking about something sinister.
Please guide me. I googled it sadly and now I have OCD about cancer :(
I don't feel any pain, it feels hard sphere to press, doesn't move.
I don't smoke, drink rarely (1-2 times a year).
No other bad habits as well. I do have an impacted but symptomless lower wisdom tooth on that side which hasn't erupted at all.
This lump is there since months
